Joy.
It's as fleeting as it is elusive.
Olympic skiers like Travis Ganong earn their living from doing something others do recreationally. It's their day job. And, anyone's day job can get old.
So, what did this pro athlete do hours after returning from the 2022 Beijing Olympics?
He went skiing.
Why? Because it brings him joy.
"Contrary to the belief that as a pro skier we get to ski a lot, when we're racing, we're not skiing that much. When we're racing, we're going up and inspecting the hill and we're resting a lot. And we're doing our race runs so we're doing two or three runs a day to conserve energy and trying to stay healthy and saving a lot for the race run. During the whole season, I can't wait to get home and ski for myself and for the joy of skiing without the pressure and the stress," Ganong said.
For this two-time Olympian, home sweet home means home sweet snow.
